Many single-phase motors used on refrigeration systems will incorporate some type of capacitor. They will either use a start capacitor or a run capacitor. Some motors will even use both.

How to Check a TV Capacitor. A capacitor is an electrical component that stores an electric charge and is used in filter circuits, since AC signals pass through while DC signals are blocked.

If you’ve done any amount of electronic design work, you’ll be familiar with the need for decoupling capacitors. Sometimes a chip’s datasheet will tell you exactly what kind of ca… ...
